It was such a bargain! Nearly 10″ tall for $3.99, a basil plant. It smells so good. On the bus, bringing it home, other riders commented on the sweet smell. The perfect plant for the bedroom. I love plants in the bedroom for all the right reasons. This one has been there for a couple of days now. When I want a few leaves, it does require crawling over the bed and reaching beyond the pillows to the window sill to pluck them. But that is not the question. When a basil plant is at rest. It smells. It smells rather like stinky socks.
